‘The animals went in three by three, hurrah! hurrah!The animals went in three by three, the wasp, the ant and the bumblebeeAnd they all went into the ark, to get out of the rain!'

Round up your toy animals and get ready to venture off into the ocean with this beautiful toy ark by Holztiger. It's gorgeously hand-carved, with ample room for the elephant, the kangaroo, (and even the hippopotamus who gets stuck in the door)! There's a detachable cabin where your favourite animals can take charge and lead the mighty voyage. Animal overboard! No, just kidding- there's a rope guard rail to keep all your creatures safe. Built upon a set of wheels, kids can pull their ark around the room. You'll find that the top deck is detachable, so children can easily access the inside to check on their passengers.

Play with the ark by singing the Noah's ark song and leading the animals onto the boat in the right order. Two by two, the elephant and the kangaroo can stomp and hop on first! Retell the story of Noah's ark, and introduce the animals to one another, they are likely curious about all these new friends. Then try jumping up and down to imitate stormy seas!

The ark is crafted with maple and beech wood, and the watercolours are non-toxic. Holztiger products are generally recommended for children aged 3 +. Please note, the animal friends are sold separately.
